An animal track, in some cases known as a pugmark, or an animal footprint, is an imprint left behind in soil, snow, or mud, or on some other ground surface, by an animal walking across it. Animal tracks are used by hunters in tracking their prey, by naturalists to identify animals living in a given area, and fossil tracks are used by paleontologists to study ancient fauna.
